It boggles my mind how we are all equal-ish in one thing (beyond the obvious of being human). That is, most of us are all given the most valuable thing in this life, even more valuable than #Bitcoin
Time.
This invaluable resource is with us for an average of 70yrs. And some how, the mass populace have been deceived to denigrate its immense importance.
A lie perpetuated through the ages to trade your time to be a wage slave, in order to allow someone else to replace their labor with your labor, and enrich themselves with your time. As a species, we could have turned this reality into something amazing. Instead, we trade these ficticious digits of value for an artificial sense of self-worth through consumerism.
I was guilty of this for years. Dreaming of that luxury home, car, watch, etc. Wanting to be able to flex, to people who don't even care. All the while losing my most valuable net worth and replacing it with a house built on sand.
A transformation within myself has occurred, but not overnight. More akin to the journey of a caterpillar entering a chrysalis phase before the struggle of learning how to fly. But once those wings stabilize, the wind giving lift, it's freedom of movement.
This very note is costing me the most precious thing I own. Will it be worth it? I don't know. But I hope it will inspire others to not feel like they too must be compelled to compete in the rat race. Or, continue with the false sense of having said time to do things "tomorrow".
Time's scarcity is compounded further as it's not guaranteed. Stop putting things off today, for a tomorrow that may never come. Take the break from the fiat mines to be with loved ones. Tell the boss who's screaming orders from the top bass and raping your asset of time to GFY.
Do the thing you love, even if it doesn't make you wealthy in the drowsy, sunken eyes of an NPC. Be victorious in carving out your day as you see fit, even in the face of criticism from the burned out, miserable automatons who were duped by the hustle culture. Reclaim your independence and stack seconds like you stack sats.
Exit the matrix and fuck the system.
